In this video, I retrofit my 2015 Model S with the proper hardware to be able to communicate with 3rd party CCS/NACS chargers.
Basically all Teslas built prior to 2021 did not come with CCS communication hardware from the factory, and require a retrofit in order to "unlock" that capability. For most models, the parts to do so are available over the counter from Tesla, but for Model S built before the 2016 refresh, the parts are unfortunately not available over the counter here in North America. I was able to source the parts from Europe though, and thought it would be useful for folks to know how the process works.
If you want a CCS retrofit on your Tesla, or are in need of repairs for your EV, feel free to get in touch!
